With the arrival of the new CRM SP1 in Microsoft Dynamics, there came an additional surprise with the plugin registration tool. While there have been a few changes for functionality, the Plugin Registration Tool has looked pretty much the same for several years. However, with the latest SDK for SP1 a face-lift was in order. We have provided for you an overview of what the new look has to offer!

Note: The Plugin Registration Tool still needs the Windows Identity Foundation framework installed to use it.
